Annual Tea to Honor First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy
Leslie Goddard
in character as
First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy
Jackie Kennedy tells her story, from her childhood memories, her marriage to handsome Senator John F. Kennedy in 1953, her struggles to begin a family, and her conflicted reaction to JFK's election to the U.S. Presidency in 1961. As First Lady, she declared that caring for her two young children and maintaining the family;s privacy were her top priorities. Nonetheless, she drew intense media attention with her fashion sense and youthful appeal, and appeared on thousands of magazine covers. She shares the story of her work to restore the White House and preserve its historical integrity, her attempts to showcase the arts and her international travel to support her husband's presidency.
